Celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of St. Michael's Men

message from the president
Dear Alumni and Friends,
At St. Michael's we often encourage the boys to become St. Michael's
Men even though the qualities that embody being a St. Michael's Man
seem elusively vague and mysterious. This year the school had a very
difficult experience when one of our Grade 11 students died of a brain
tumour. However, that experience gave us a glimpse of how someone
can be a St. Michael's Man at a very young age.
Robel Solomon came to us from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School.
Growing up in the Jamestown project at Wellesley and Sherbourne, he
did not have expectations of coming to St. Mike's until he found out
through some friends that our assistance programmes might make that
a realistic dream. When he started Grade 9 in September 2009 that dream came true.
—
1 1
SffiC'^H
A few weeks later, Robel suffered a seizure while playing his favorite sport of soccer at a Homecoming match.
Tests followed the seizure and while surgery reduced the size of the tumour that was discovered, it could not elimi-
nate it. For two and a half years, as Robel dealt with recovery and chemotherapy, the one dream he clung to was going
to St. Mike's.
Robel was here every day that he could be. While we tried to modify his programme, he insisted that he take
difficult subjects and did his best to complete all assignments. Unable to participate in soccer, he took up archery
and practiced with the senior basketball team. He was active at the school until his health took a very bad turn just
before exams in December. While he recovered enough to enjoy a good Christmas with his friends and family, the
disease progressed and he died in February.
I had the privilege of ministering to Robel and his family in those final months and weeks. He was incredibly com-
mitted to coming to school and doing his best even when the outlook was very grim. He never stopped trying
despite increasing disability and he never lost hope even though he knew the likely outcome of his disease.
He encouraged his friends in the community to stay in school and to make the most of their lives. He kept an
optimistic outlook and a lively sense of humour even as the tumour robbed him more and more of his strength. He
wanted and received the Sacraments, and while not happy about the prospect of dying, was unafraid.
Robel was a remarkable young man. He brought out the best in others. The Hospital for Sick Children was amazed at the
support he received from his classmates and teachers. He was also supported constantly by his mother, brother and father,
extended family, and Eritrean community. The outpouring of love at the wake and at the funeral from the Eritrean, Jamestown
and St. Michael's communities was one of the most profoundly moving experiences in my life as a priest and educator.
Robel's short life had much meaning because he was determined with God's help to give it meaning. What a won-
derful example of a St. Michael's Man.

message from the alumni president
Welcome to the Spring/Summer Edition of the Blue Banner and my final
message as President of the Alumni Association. This spring, we
embarked on an election process to find new leadership for the Alumni
Association. It is my intention to remain actively involved with the execu-
tive in my role as Past President, and I look forward to supporting a new
president as we work together to advance the goals of our Association
and those of the School we all cherish.
As the end of yet another successful school year is upon us, I bid heartfelt
congratulations to the Class of 2012 on their upcoming graduation.
On behalf of the Alumni Association, we wish you the best as you begin your
university career. We look forward to your many future successes and to one
day sharing old stories or your ideas on how to make St. Michael's stronger.
The conclusion of the 2011-12 school year also brings about a significant change in the leadership of
St. Michael's College School. Congratulations to Fr. Redican, C.S.B. on his retirement and thank you for all of the
work you have done to ensure St. Michael's remains the leader in Catholic boys' education. It has been a pleasure
working with you. The Alumni Executive thanks you for the support you have shown us through the years. I would
also like to congratulate Terry Sheridan '89 on his appointment as the School's first lay president. We look
forward to working with you to support and advance the mission of the School.
I would like to draw your attention to the alumni reader survey results that are now available at
mybluebanner.com. Your feedback will help this publication continue to grow and remain relevant to a broad
spectrum of alumni. Thank you for participating in the survey.
On a closing note, I would like to thank all of the hard working alumni whom I have had the pleasure of working
with over the years. We are a strong and vibrant group dedicated to the future of the school. I will be forever grate-
ful and honoured to have had the opportunity to serve as your Alumni Association President.
Thank you.
Yours truly,

letter from the editor
As SMCS alumni we are able to take inspiration from the many great
Men of St. Michael's who have graced the school's halls. Several such
gentlemen are profiled in this issue, including Terence Sheridan '89,
Dr. Anthony Tosoni '37 and Robel Solomon '13.
We can all be thankful for the contributions these and other accom-
plished St. Michael's Men have provided to the institution that has
made us the men we are today.
We are certainly thankful for the willingness of Terry Sheridan to take on
the extra duties and responsibilities of serving as both President and
Principal. We are also thankful, as their term comes to a close, for the
time and resources committed by Alumni Association President Josh
Colle and the rest of the Executive.
Here at the Blue Banner, we are particularly thankful for the almost 300 people who took the time and effort to
respond to our annual survey. Among the most interesting facts gleaned from the survey results: more than 80 per
cent of respondents read every issue of the Blue Banner, with almost 40 per cent reading it cover to cover; nearly
75 per cent of respondents would like to see more issues of the magazine and more than 70 per cent would like
to see a dedicated online issue; perhaps most interestingly, a majority of respondents would be willing to include
advertising in the Blue Banner to help offset production costs.
The survey was designed to glean information on how the alumni community would like to see the Banner grow
- be it through larger editions, more editions, or an increased online presence. In order to fulfil our mission to
engage the alumni community we need your submissions, but we also need space to put them. As if to drive that
point home, we didn't actually have space to include the survey results in this issue. They have instead been
posted online at mybluebanner.com.
Although we couldn't fit the survey into the magazine, we have managed to cram it full of great stories about the
St. Mike's community. Of course we would be remiss if we didn't do an in-depth profile of our new President -
our interview with Terry Sheridan can be found beginning on page 9. Richard McQuade continues his fascinating
'untold history' of St. Mike's in the 1930s in 'From the Archives' (p. 12). A new section, 'Men of St. Michael's',
debuts with a story about one of our most interesting and accomplished grads, Dr. Anthony Tosoni '37 (p. 15).
And we cover the induction of three SMCS legends into the St. Mike's Basketball Hall of Fame (p. 22). Also
included in this issue is a welcome to the Class of 2012 (p. 25), and articles about the Columbus Centre Concert
Band (p. 18) and the annual Turkey Roll (p. 34).
If, after all of that, you are still looking for more, don't forget to check out the survey results at mybluebanner.com
- where you can also read this and past editions of the magazine.
Happy Reading!

VISIT MYBLUEBANNER.COM TO SEE THE RESULTS
Dear Gavin,
I was surprised and pleased to see excerpts from my
reminiscent article 'Memories of the 1930s and 1940s' in
the latest issue of the Blue Banner. I wrote it in response
to the notice in the 201 1 Spring/Summer Edition asking for
articles for the archives on the earlier days in the Bay
Street School, but didn't expect that excerpts would
appear in the Blue Banner. I have already received calls
from other Old Boys who found it interesting. I have two
corrections for you. I presume that by now some of your
Basilian confreres will have told you that Archbishop
McGuigan was not a Basilian as you implied by giving him
the initials 'C.S.B.', but was automatically Chancellor of
St. Michael's College because of his position as reigning
Bishop of the Archdiocese of Toronto. The minor error is
that my middle initial is 'R' not 'U as you have indicated.
Thanks again for your surprise,
Vernon R. Mulhall '41
Ed's reply: I'm certainly glad the surprise was a pleasant
one! Our apologies for the error with your name, Vernon,
and sincere thanks for sharing your memories.
letters to the editor
Dear Gavin,
The recent issue of the Blue Banner and the 'Cozy Barn'
article brought back some fond memories of my summer
employment at St. Mike's. In 1960, 1 was employed, along
with some other students, to assist with the fitting out and
finishing of the arena as described in the article. We were
planing, cutting, varnishing and nailing the side boards all
summer, working side by side with Fr. Sheehan, C.S.B.,
Fr. Smith, C.S.B., Fr. Higgins, C.S.B. '45 and Hubert Vogt.
With best wishes, Leslie Soltay '63
Ed's reply: Thanks for the letter Leslie. The arena certainly
is a special place. I have many fond memories of my own
time working there. I'm sure you have some great stories.
Feel free to share them with us!
Dear Editor,
Congratulations on putting out such a wonderful alumni
magazine. In your last edition, the Fall/Winter 2011, the
feature on the arena, 'The Cozy Barn', was of particular
interest. I particularly enjoyed the construction history, and
the mention of my father, Hubert Vogt, as one of the driving
Blue Banner | Spring/ Summer 2012
forces behind the arena construction. This Hubert Vogt is
not to be confused with my older brother Hubert Vogt 76
who was only a newborn at the time of construction.
I also would like to point out the 'unknown' person refer-
enced in the construction picture standing next to Fr. Paul
Sheehan, C.S.B., is none other than the same Hubert
Vogt, my dad. He is now retired from his career at St.
Mike's, having put in 34 years from 1952 to 1986, includ-
ing his final position as Managing Director. He has seen
three of his sons (Hubert 76, Gregory 78, George 79)
and one grandson (Jonathan Lukas Goldnau-Vogt '11)
attend a school that he spent a career building.
Best regards,
Gregory M. Vogt 78
Ed's reply: Thanks for the letter Gregory. I think we need a
follow up on the arena article as it is the source of so many
great stories! At the very least, a piece on your father's
contribution to the school is called for.
Editor,
Another fine edition of your very professional looking
publication. However I feel compelled to point out your
disastrous attempt to identify the people in the left picture
on page 12. You scored 50% on this photo. From left to
right after Fr. Sheehan, C.S.B. comes Hubert Vogt. The
4th person is most certainly not Mike Lavelle '55 (a
longtime friend and former teacher at SMC) and the final
man is Fr. Neil Smith, C.S.B. . Surely if you do not know
half of the people in a photograph you would consult any
of hundreds of former teachers and/or students, like your
former editor Joe Younder '56, Dan Prendergast, Paul
Thomson '65 or even this humble scribe.
Gerry Marlborough '59, former Science Department head
and hockey coach 1965-1997.
Ed's reply: I don't know Gerry, I remember more than one
science test in which scoring 50% was considered far
from 'disastrous'! Many thanks though for providing
corrections on the picture. Rest assured you were not the
only one!
Dear Editor,
Thanks for the latest issue of the Banner. I am an alum-
nus ('65) and really enjoyed the article on the old arena.
As a kid at Holy Rosary I remember playing in Wells Hill
Park with friends and stopping in our tracks as we stood
open-mouthed and watched a huge flatbed truck carry
the first of the enormous wooden arches for the arena
roof. Later, of course, as a student at St. Mike's, I was a
rink rat throughout the winter months.
Best Wishes,
Colin Brezicki '65

C.S.B., Armand Scaini '58, Fr. Brian Higgins, C.S.B. '45,
Fr. Neil Smith, C.S.B. '46
Ed's reply: Thanks, Colin - it truly is amazing how many
people's lives have been touched by the arena.
Dear Editor,
The latest edition of the Blue Banner with pictures of Fr.
Flanagan, C.S.B., Fr. Higgins, C.S.B. '45, Fr. Ronan,
C.S.B. '41 and Fr. Egsgard, C.S.B., was a joy to read and
certainly elicited further comment. As a Bay Streeter I
really can't relate to the Bathurst Street school, but I can
share the warmth and spirit of the many graduates and
attendees. I watched Fr. Higgins play football and then
had the pleasure of playing for him when he coached the
interfaculty team in the mid-1950s. Travelling with my
brother to Edmonton to watch Fr. Bauer, C.S.B. '45 and
the Majors win the Memorial Cup was another momen-
tous occasion. I have had the opportunity to attend one or
two Turkey Rolls when fellow Bay Streeter George
Cormack '49 was the 'headroller' and now that I am a
returnee to Ontario I hope to visit the SMCS facility a few
more times.
Thanks,
John Prendergast '48, Bracebridge, ON
Ed's reply: We'd be happy to see you John. The bricks
may be different, but the spirit definitely remains the
same.
Ed's note: The picture caption wasn't the only thing we
messed up in the 'Cozy Barn' article. It included a vivid
description of police swarming the ice during a 1982
Buzzers playoff game, the details of which were provided
by arena manager Rob Tunney '81. My sincere apologies
for neglecting to credit this, Rob.
Q: Is being President of the school something you've always been inter-
ested in, something you've aspired to?
A: I don't think the community believed this opportunity would present
itself to the laity at this time. As such, I can honestly say I did not think the
opportunity would become available during my time at the school.
Q: How did your appointment as President come about? Please tell us a
bit about the process.
A: The usual process involves the Basilian Fathers meeting, identifying,
and ratifying a new leader for St. Michael's. Unfortunately, the school
community was informed that a suitable candidate could not be identified
at this time and, hence, it was opened to the laity. At that point, as a
member of the search committee I decided to excuse myself and pursue
the opportunity. And from there, the search committee met and before
going public decided unanimously to ask if I would assume the position
for two years.
Q: How did you celebrate your appointment?
A: Well, the first person I called was obviously Laura, my wife. We both had some tears.
Q: How does your family feel about the increased workload?
A: Before putting my name forward, we as a family sat down and discussed the exciting opportunity, the responsi-
bilities that went along with it, and the extra work required. In recognition of the extra work load, I will not teach for
the first time in seven years. I ultimately believe the workload will be manageable because the administrative team,
faculty and staff are wholeheartedly committed to advancing the mission of the school.
Q: Do you see yourself sharing some of your Principal duties with the Vice Principals or other duties with other staff
members here?
A: I've always worked under the premise of a team-approach to decision making and implementing initiatives.
Q: You mentioned briefly there that you won't be teaching next year. Are
you concerned that you may lose some contact with the students or may
not have as much time to dedicate to the students?
A: Because this is at the forefront of my mind, I will ensure that it doesn't
happen. As an educator, interacting with the young men of St. Mike's is
necessary to understand the heart and soul of our school.
Q: There's a whole other business side to the role of President. What
assets do you feel you bring to that area?
A: I believe my strengths are focused on building a team, effective commu-
nication, listening rather than just hearing, and capitalizing on the strengths
of those in leadership positions. Ultimately, it is my hope that by focusing
the team on a common vision, excellence for the St. Michael's College
School community will continue.
Celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of St. Michael's Men
Blue Banner | Spring/Summer 20 12
Q: In doing that, what do you think will be your biggest challenge as
President?
A: For the longest time, St. Michael's has relied on the generous
support of the Basilian Fathers, however, the challenge will be to
inspire the internal and external community to more fully give of their
time, talents, and financial resources. There are several constituents
who have stepped forward and we thank them. There is a significant
need for more members of our school's community to contribute in
order to bring to fruition the mission of St. Mike's.
Q: Independent schools are very competitive environments these
days, so fundraising becomes one of the biggest challenges.
Though you haven't started yet, what plans do you have in mind in
respect to fundraising?
A: Building relationships with our alumni, parents and friends has to
be a focus for St. Mike's. By building these relationships we hope to
provide people with an opportunity to give back to the school. We
must realize that as a charitable institution, the future of our school
rests solely on the philanthropy of its members. We are called to
participate in that fundraising. Presently, there are a number of initia-
tives on the go that I plan to support and bring to fruition.
Q: Times of change are not just about moving forward, but also a
time of reflection. What has been your biggest success so far in your
role as Principal?
A: There are two things that come to mind. The first one is building
the commitment and energy of the wonderful faculty and staff and
supporting them in their development. Secondly, is investing time
and energy into improving pedagogy at St. Mike's via technology.
Q: Do you feel extra pressure, not just being President, but being the first lay person to be President?
A: Yes, I understand and accept the pressure associated with this opportunity, but I have always believed that how
one responds to the pressure says much about the character of the individual. In terms of the tasks that are ahead,
I am confident with the team here at St. Mike's that as a community we will adjust where needed to continue the
great things that we do.
Q: What kind of reception and feedback have you had from the St. Mike's community since your appointment was
announced?
A: I have been very humbled by the support of the community at large. The response from faculty, staff, students,
and alumni has been overwhelmingly positive. Further, I am grateful for support extended by the Basilian Fathers
locally and abroad. I am very thankful for the support as I take on the President's portfolio in July.
Q: Can we expand on the reaction from the students? Obviously, not just as principal, but as a teacher you've
developed close relationships with some of them. Are they going to look at you differently now? What's the feeling
you get from them?
A: There may be a name change to The Prez, which some of them have called me. Terry Sheridan is the same guy
as he was when he started as a teacher. The relationships that I've built whether it's been through hockey as a
coach, teacher, or principal are the same. Those relationships don't change if you are A or B.
Q: I think the vast majority of alumni and others would agree that the
school's been doing really well lately and it's being left to you in a
good condition. Are there any changes you would immediately like
to make?
A: One of the things I learned early in leadership is that, when
assuming a new position, the best thing for me to do is to take a
deep breath and observe for a little while, so as to understand
what's going on and to get my feet under me. In so doing, I will have
an informed perspective of what needs to be done and when. It will
be important to keep in mind that the changes we make must ensure
that our academic programme remains our top priority.
Q: What is the one message you would like to give to the St. Mike's
community as we go through this transition?
A: St. Mike's is first and foremost a Basilian Catholic school and will
continue to be so. We will have Basilians active in the building and,
as we continue to move forward, the laity in the community will
continue to take on a greater role. Whether it be alumni, parents,
faculty, or staff, it is no longer a need, it is a must. In essence, it is a
call for all of us to be an active part of the future of the school
through fundraising or volunteerism.
Q: Any specific message for the alumni? How do you feel alumni can
best be of service to St. Mike's?
A: I know
having sat in on the last Alumni Executive meeting, I
recognize the alumni are looking for opportunities to get
involved whether it be through fundraising or volunteer-
ism. Beyond this, it is my hope that the alumni will visit
with our students and continue to share their insights on
the life-long benefits of a St. Michael's education.
Q: Fast forward two years — you've been given the choice
to stay on as President or Principal, which do you choose?
A: I think we'll let the next two years unfold and then we'll
see. I feel blessed to have this opportunity, to be trusted by
the Basilian Fathers and by the St. Mike's community to
continue the legacy the Basilian Fathers have created.
Hopefully, in two years a Basilian will be deemed ready. If
not, we will move forward based on the best interests of
our school and its community.

from the archives: our untold history part II
Richard McQuade, Director of Archives
The previous Blue Banner included the histories of the College Annex and the West End College. This account is
based on an interview from 2011 with Fr. Frank Voorwerk, C.S.B. '38, which is now preserved in the archives.
Fr. Frank, now 93 and a retired diocesan priest, is an alumnus of the West End College.
Upon graduating from St. James Elementary School in June 1932, Frank Voorwerk was unsure of what to do. He
told his pastor, Fr. William Heydon, that he was interested in the priesthood, so Fr. Heydon suggested the new
school. Fr. Vince Thompson, C.S.B. , a Basilian recruiting for the new school, also visited Frank at his Durie St.
home in The Junction. The Voorwerks could not afford the $40/year tuition, but like other pastors Fr. Heydon found
an unnamed sponsor, so Frank became a member of that first class in September 1932.
Two other St. James' boys joined Frank there and also became priests; Ted Madigan '37 became a diocesan priest
and Clair Johnson '37 a Redemptonist missionary. Joe O'Reilly '36 from St. Helen's became a Basilian, while Pat
Malone '36 and John Lepinsky '36, (both from St. Cecilia's) and Bill Breen '40, from St. Vincent de Paul, also
became diocesan priests. That first class of 37 boys produced seven priests.
■
Travel time and costs discouraged many from attending
downtown, but at the new school students could travel by
bike or walk while the priests came by streetcar. Students
brought their own lunches. The school day went from
9:00 a.m. until noon, re-started at 1 :30 p.m. and ended at
4:00 p.m. The West End College (and likely the Annex)
had five weekdays of instruction, but downtown had half
day morning classes Wednesdays and Saturdays
because it had boarders. All three schools competed at
Clover Hill on Wednesday afternoons. The West End
Principal, Fr. Mallon, C.S.B. '26, taught French and Latin
in the morning. Deacon, later Father, Lee Higgins, C.S.B.
taught Algebra and Geometry in the afternoon. Only these
four subjects were taught that year.
Fr. Frank remembers high school as being much different
from elementary school. "My first lesson in discipline at
St. Mike's was the first day I was there," he recalls.
"Gordy Delemere '37 sat in front of Mr. Higgins' desk. Mr. Higgins, a stern disciplinarian, made things clear that first
day. He told the boys, Tm in charge here. You'll call me sir and... you'll pay attention to what I say.' While every-
body worked, Gordy kept talking to another student, so finally Mr. Higgins went up to Gordy and whacked him right
across the side of his face. He could have knocked his teeth out or broken his jaw! He said, 'Listen bud, I told you
to shut up!' and then sat down and didn't say anything else. I pretty near quit school that day! When I went home
that day I wasn't sure if I wanted to go back!" Mr. Higgins was a big Texan who called most students 'Bud' because
he never remembered their names.

About two weeks later, Fr. Mallon was introducing a new boy to the class and said, "in about two minutes a big guy
and a little guy will come walking in, they always come late." As he spoke, in walked Joe O'Reilly and Tom Riley
'37 from St. Helen's, who were perpetually tardy. It is unknown how Joe O'Reilly, the big one, handled late students
after he became a Basilian and Latin teacher. Another time, Vin Kehoe '37 brought a heavy stick about 18-24
inches long by about two inches thick and gave it to Fr. Mallon commenting, "This is in case you need something
for discipline, you can bang on the table." Later, after he misbehaved, Vin received the stick across his own back-
side, courtesy of Fr. Mallon! It is the only time Fr. Frank recalls Fr. Mallon ever using corporal punishment.
By November Fr. Mallon was re-assigned downtown and Mr. Higgins assumed all teaching. Mr. Higgins, more
football player than teacher, now taught French although he did not know it. Two exceptional students, John Lepinsky
and Alphonse Malone '37 (called 'Joe Einstein' by Mr. Higgins) seemed to know more than their teachers.
The schoolyard was the house's long, narrow backyard, roughly the length of two bowling alleys end-to-end and
three alleys wide. Recreation was often horseshoes or 'duck on a rock'. During one game, Fr. Frank's finger was
split open while he was replacing his 'duck' rock on the larger rock. He needed stitches so he was sent home on
his bike, bleeding all the way. He still has the scar. For football, Mr. Higgins took the boys across the street to the
Canada Bread factory property, which included a field of two to three acres.
After Christmas, Fr. Martin, C.S.B. came to cover Fr. Mallon's courses. He arrived from Detroit, where he was so
well-known and well-loved, that, as Fr. Frank says, he could have become mayor. He was nicknamed 'Mr. Base-
ball', and often walked the boys to High Park for baseball. Next year, when he was re-assigned and left the school,
their Grade 10 teacher encouraged the boys to write articles for a special book they presented to him.
The only inter-campus sport was football, played at Clover Hill. School hockey games were usually played at Little
Vic and Varsity arenas. Frank played on the championship Bantam team and although he only played once, still
received a medal. He enjoyed hockey and was one of the tallest players, but his marks were weak so Fr. Heydon,
who saw his report cards, insisted he drop the game. Joe Corbally '37, another member of the Bantam squad, was
the only student who for unknown reasons bleached his hair. Other athletes were Harry O'Donnell '37 who was
good at hardball and Jim McCann '37, a good horseshoe player.
Fr. Bellisle, C.S.B., "a very pleasant, friendly type of guy, not the taskmaster," visited twice that year. In spring,
students were surveyed about continuing at the school to Grade 10. Enough students answered positively, so the
school moved into its second year with the same tuition.
In September 1933, Fr. Wilfred Dore, C.S.B. replaced Fr. Mallon as principal. Students feared Fr. Dore's visits.
During these he openly berated students like Dick Schwalm '38 because his marks were not as good as those of
his brother, who had graduated from the College School to the University. New staff to the West End included
Fr. Basil Regan, C.S.B. ("a good teacher") who taught Latin and French and Mr. Grant who taught Canadian
History. Fr. French, C.S.B. '26 taught Physics, Geometry and Algebra in the afternoon. Upon arriving daily to class
Fr. French would pick up the chalk box from the desk and wipe the desk with his handkerchief. Mice were plentiful
in the room because the students ate lunch there; so one day two were caught and placed in the box. Fr. French
lifted it and the mice dropped out, scattering across the desk. Disappointingly, Fr. French displayed no reaction
and began his lesson as always.

September brought more new students who later became priests. Peter Rosettis '36, new to Grade 10, a good student
and athlete, later played football for St. Mike's and eventually became pastor of Fr. Frank's old parish, St. James. The
new Grade 9 students included Robert Clune '38, later the Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto, and Bill O'Brien '38, who
became a Monsignor.
Only one boy had a job. Tom 'Fish' Murray '37 delivered fish and chips by bike. Each Friday around 11:30 'Fish' left
school and returned late in the afternoon. He used the lane beside the school and the boys, now on the second floor in
Grade 1 0, would fill a bag with water from one of the radiators and 'bomb' him when he passed. On one occasion they
succeeded. Murray, "lost control of his bike and almost got killed!" He was more careful after that.
The three campus football teams clashed again downtown in 1933 with the West End emerging as champions. Basilian
Fathers, Forner, Kelly, Dore, Haffey and McCorkell and other young Basilian priests and scholastics, "great big guys,
football players," visited from downtown. They were strict, "you did what you were told... we worshipped these guys...
St. Mike's was responsible for a lot of vocations to the priesthood... they were great men... like gods to us," and left
lasting impressions.
Religious life was especially important during Holy Week, when classes were suspended for retreats. Daily Mass next
door at St. Joan's was followed by prayers and lectures by visiting priests. In June 1 934, Canada's first Cardinal, Cardinal
Villeneuve, visited Toronto for the first time. The West End students practiced for several days in their narrow schoolyard
as part of the St. Mike's Honour Guard, which formed part of the Cardinal's parade from Union Station to Clover Hill.
In September 1934, Frank Voorwerk and about half of his class started the long trek to Grade 1 1 at Clover Hill. Within
a few years, the College Annex and the West End College disappeared.

men of st. michael's: dr. anthony tosoni '37
Surely just about every Canadian has heard of the revered Sir Frederick Grant Banting, the world famous Canadian
medical scientist, doctor, Nobel laureate and University of Toronto graduate credited as being one of the main discover-
ers of insulin. But how many have heard of fellow University of Toronto (and St. Michael's College School) graduate
37, the man credited with saving millions of lives by inventing penicillin in pill form?
Dr. Tosoni not
approachable
Probably not nearly as many, but Armand Scain '58 feels it is time for that to change. Scaini remembers
only as an incredibly smart and talented person, but as an extremely down to earth, friendly and
individual. Even while collecting global accolades and piling up patents, Dr. Tosoni
always sought to help others and insisted upon being called 'Nino'. "Back in Italy," i
Scaini recalls, "the doctors would not even look at you if you did not address them
reverentially as Doctor - even the ones that weren't really doctors!"
Nino was about as far from a pseudo-doctor as you can get. His doctoral
research while at the U of T led him, together with his mentor, Dr. Peter Maloney,
to develop a method of crystallizing penicillin - a procedure that was accepted
and copied throughout the world. This breakthrough made penicillin signifi-
cantly easier to produce and conserve - making it accessible and available to a
much wider audience, undoubtedly saving countless lives in the process. But, as
Armand is quick to point out, if not for the generosity of the Basilian Fathers and
other benefactors, those lives might not have been saved. Nino might never
have become Dr. Tosoni.
Born in Italy in 1920, Antonio Tosoni came from Castelnovo del Friuli, a town
situated in the mountains north of Spilimbergo west of the Tagliamento River. After
beginning his schooling in Italy, Tosoni emigrated with his family to Canada, even-
tually landing in the west end of Toronto. Once Nino finished elementary school,
his father wanted him to find employment - to help them survive the tough times brought on by the Depression. How-
ever, the nun who was his principal at St. Cecilia's would hear of no such thing. "He's going to St. Michael's" was the
instruction she provided to Nino's father, leaving him to wonder who was going to pay the tuition.
As it was, the Basilians, as they have
done so often throughout their stew-
ardship of the school, saw something
special in Nino and found a way to
cover his tuition. Nino enrolled at
St. Michael's College School and
promptly enjoyed great success.
Encouraged by his teachers, who
recognized his potential, he
progressed quickly through the
ranks, completing his five years of
studies in four years. In 1937, Tosoni
graduated from St. Mike's, winning a
$100 per year scholarship for university from the Knights of Columbus in the process. "If it wasn't for the kindness
of the Basilians," says Scaini, "Nino would have been in construction like all the other Italian guys."

t
Nino immediately enrolled at the University of Toronto, choosing to attend St. Michael's College. His first prefer-
ence was to study languages, but, as a sign of the times, he feared that as a Catholic and Italian he would be hard
pressed to succeed in the teaching profession to which those studies were sure to ultimately lead. Instead, Tosoni
devoted himself to the study of the sciences - luckily, one might say with the benefit of hindsight. He received his
B.A. in Biochemistry in 1942, and continued with post graduate work in the same field. In 1944, he completed his
M.A., earning his Ph.D. in Chemistry three years later.
It is worth noting that Tosoni was one of only eight recipients of a doctoral degree across all faculties at the Univer-
sity of Toronto at the November 1947 convocation ceremony. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that Nino was not
only the first Friulian, but the first Italian from the Toronto community to receive a doctorate from the University of
Toronto. All this he managed to do while working a variety of summer jobs - including selling magazines and
apprenticing for a tile-setter - and serving as the President of the Famee Furlane in 1941-42.
Leading an Italian cultural organization while Canada was at war with Italy may not have been the smartest move,
but it was certainly brave. Not only were Italians required to sign in with local police every two weeks during this
period, leaders in the Italian community were routinely detained
in prison camps, notably at Petawawa. "So the leaders of the
Famee Furlane all quit so they would not get arrested," relates
Scaini. But not Nino.
He was also studying to be an officer in the Canadian Army. Each
time he had to sign in at the local police station he would show
up in his army uniform - which forced the policemen to stand at
attention and salute. In fact, laughs Scaini, Nino managed to
make things so uncomfortable at the station that he soon
received a letter telling him he was not required to check in
anymore. "Nino wasn't afraid," says Scaini, "and he always
encouraged young people never to be afraid."

Chapel at Villa Leonardo Gabin at the Friuli Centre
A true man of St. Michael's, Tosoni never hesitated to give back
to the communities that had supported him, from fellow Italian
immigrants to students following in his footsteps at the U of T As
President of the Famee Furlane he worked hard to dispel any suspicions the Canadian Government had about the
organization during the critical early days of the Second World War. From 1942-44, while pursuing his graduate
studies, Tosoni volunteered as a demonstrator - providing laboratory instructions to engineering students. After
completing his groundbreaking doctoral thesis in 1947 he taught Chemistry at the U of T's School of Hygiene until
1 956. Prior to that, Tosoni had made a significant contribution to the war effort of his adopted country, supervising the
production of antitoxins at Connaught Medical Research in 1944.
Tosoni's relationship with Connaught Laboratories lasted almost 40 years. He retired from the firm in 1982, after
serving as Assistant Director. By that point, he had a large number of publications and patents to his credit. "Look
at this," says Armand as he flips through the impressive list of Dr. Tosoni's patents in Canada and U.S.A. and
published research. "For a guy from Friuli to achieve all this, at that time..."
His voice trails off as he comes to a compilation of testimonials, including one from the U of T, which on the occa-
sion of its 150th anniversary recognized "with gratitude the long and distinguished service" provided by Nino.
His former employers at Connaught noted that "few scientists have (made) a significant impact on such widely
dispersed areas as has been enjoyed by Dr. Tosoni", before also commenting on his "quiet, unassuming personality."
i
Celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of St. Michael's Men
In recognition of Dr. Tosoni's significant contribution to Canada's cumulative body of scientific knowledge, he was
made a Fellow in the Canadian Institute of Chemistry. Nino was also feted in the pages of The Telegram (1964) and
Canadian Mosaic (1975) among other publications. Following his premature death from cancer in 1985, touching
reflections were published in II Messaggero Veneto and the Toronto Star
Still emotional about Nino's passing, Armand remembers Nino calling one day and asking him to come help plan
his funeral. "I wouldn't go," says Armand. "I tried to talk him out of it."
"I'm a doctor in chemistry," Nino told him. "I know
I'm going to die soon."
A devout Catholic who courageously faced his immi-
nent death, Dr. Tosoni had always been exceedingly
modest about his achievements. But he was revered
and respected by all who met him, particularly by the
second generation of Friulian Canadians, who looked
up to him as a role model. Always proud of his
Friulian heritage, he inspired many who followed him
to Canada to pursue higher education, something he
would surely count among his greatest achievements
- if he had been prone to even the slightest hint of
immodesty.

Nobody would have blamed him for bragging. His story is undoubtedly amongst the most inspirational of the many
accomplished graduates of St. Michael's and his life should continue to inspire all those who pass through the
school's hallowed halls for generations to come.

Dr. Anthony (Nino) Tosoni was posthumously honoured by the Friuli Benevolent Corporation in Wood-
bridge at a ceremony held June 4, 201 1 , at Friuli Terrace (60 Friuli Court). The Friuli Terrace Conservatory
was dedicated in Dr. Tosoni's name and a bronze plaque was inaugurated in his honour in recognition of
both his scientific accomplishments and his substantial contribution to the Friuli-Canadian community.
Elected President of the Famee Furlane in 1 941 at the age of 21 , Dr. Tosoni was, and remains, the young-
est ever President of the organization. Always proud of his heritage, he visited Friuli on many occasions,
often accompanied by Marie, his Canadian-born wife, and his seven children. He celebrated important
family events at the restaurant of the Famee Furlane and continued until his passing to use his native
language, even instructing that part of of his funeral mass be conducted in Friulian.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Nino's dear friend, Armand Scain '55 (who also conducted the Friulian
reading at his funeral), the celebration was organized and held in the presence of Marie, five of Tosoni's
children and numerous grandchildren. Also attending the event were Fr. Fitzpatrick, C.S.B. of St. Michael's
and a full contingent from the Knights of Columbus.

marching to the st. mike's beat
former teachers enjoying retirement
Livio Leonardelli '56 has long felt a passion for music, first gained while learning to play the trumpet under the direc-
tion of legendary St. Mike's band leader John Guerriere '47. The lessons imparted, and stories told, by Guerriere
inspired Livio to pursue a career in music - a career that has lasted sixty years, survived two 'retirements' (in 2001
and 2009) and recently entered a new and exciting chapter.
In 201 0, Leonardelli accepted a request from Anthony Fusco Sr. '50, founder of the Columbus Centre, to form and conduct
the Columbus Centre Concert Band. Except for one professional, the band is comprised of amateurs musicians - male and
female - from all walks of life, including students, teachers, accountants, computer analysts and programmers, a chef, a
social worker, and a dentist. With extensive and proven teaching expertise, credentials from the Royal Conservatory of
Music, and experience in a wide variety of aspects of the music industry - including previous employment with the presti-
gious Music Corporation of America (MCA) - Leonardelli was both a safe and inspired choice to lead the ambitious project.
Livio's career teaching music began in earnest in 1967 with a ten-year stay as Head of the Music Department at
Lakeview Secondary School. After transferring to the Metropolitan Separate School Board, he resumed teaching at
Chaminade College School. Receiving high accolades and many gold awards while touring his student bands across
the U.S. and throughout Europe, Livio quickly became known as Maesto Leonardelli, a title he wears proudly today.
IAN THOMPSON '64
Since retiring in June 201 1 , Ian Thompson '64 has gone on the first of what he hopes will be many
cruises with his wife Jasmine, is building a cottage at Wasaga Beach and spends time with his
children Alex, Derek and Evita.
His retirement marked the end of the latest phase of his 40-plus year relationship with St. Michael's,
during which he saw many changes. Ian graduated from St. Michael's College School and went on
to earn his Honours Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Education from the University of Toronto.
He returned to SMCS in 1975 and taught science and math for more than 36 years. Ian described
SMCS students as highly motivated, responding well to academic challenges and with an incredible
attitude towards learning. He sympathized with his students' tough course load, but still maintained
high expectations remembering his own experience with difficult Ontario departmental exams. "The remarkable thing
about teaching from year to year and class to class, is the appearance of so many personalities, fresh ideas and
challenges. This keeps you sharp and especially young at heart," said Ian.
Feeling fulfilled and riding the final waves of an incredible career, the Maestro retired in January 2001 . Just eight
months later, Leonardelli accepted an offer to start the music programme at Villanova College. After leading the
Villanova band to gold in a variety of competitions, he retired again in 2009 - a retirement that lasted only until the
Columbus Centre came calling a year later.
St. Mike's benefitted from lan's artistic side as well. As moderator of the photo-video club, he oversaw significant
changes in the technology of imaging, starting with slide presentations in the 70's, to using modern digital technology
most recently. Ian was also responsible for sound production and vocal coaching in the dramatic productions over a
period of 25 years.
Under the direction of Maestro Leonardelli, and thanks to the recruitment efforts of band coordinator Fred Cassano,
the Columbus Centre Band has quickly grown into an accomplished 38-piece ensemble. Although the group already
has five successful concerts under their belts, the Maestro refuses to rest on his laurels. His next goal? Growing the
band to more than 50 members - strengthening all sections in the process, while paying particular attention to
increasing the ranks of the low brass, low woodwinds, and percussion.

Despite the many changes over the years, some things remain the same. The students have always shown pride in being
a part of St. Mike's. "You can see it on their faces and those of their parents. The faculty who teach them possess a
dedication which is highly commendable," said Ian. This spirit of pride and excellence has made lan's career at
St. Michael's one to be fondly remembered in his retirement years.
PCTFR IWIPPAMM '79
Celebrating the contributions and accomplishments of St. Michael's Men
In June 201 1 , St. Michael's bid farewell to Peter McCanr 72, a dedicated theology and philosophy
teacher and coach of 22 years.
Peter first stepped foot in the yellow brick building in 1967. As a student he was inspired by
Fr. Fitzpatrick, C.S.B., Fr. Kelly, C.S.B. '40 and his hockey coach, r r. Flanagan, C.S.B. '3: , who he
described as excellent teachers, wonderful priests and great men.
After completing Grade 12, Peter went to Boston University where he played hockey and studied
Philosophy. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from York University and his Bachelor or Education and
Masters of Divinity from the University of Toronto.
After graduating, Peter played and coached for the Les Houches hockey club in France. He taught at Cardinal Leger Catho-
lic High School in Brampton, the Red Earth Reservation in Saskatchewan and St. Robert Catholic High School in Thornhill.
In 1989, Peter returned to St. Mike's as a teacher and was impressed with the calibre of students, who were respectful,
intelligent and humourous, and I formed enduring friendships with some that have lasted to this day," said Peter.
Peter knew the value of athletics at St. Michael's, saying that he learned from the Basilians that "sport was simply a vehicle
to teach kids about life." He taught students outside the classroom by coaching hockey, Softball, badminton and golf.
These days, Peter and his wife Patricia live in Thornhill and remain busy with activities in the GTA. Peter continues to be
involved with his parish, Blessed Trinity at Bayview and Finch, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He keeps in touch
with a number of former colleagues and present staff members.

from 1971-75, he was recognized as one
of the most prolific shooters in American
college basketball. Indeed, "get the ball
out to George" is remembered by Coach P
as one of his most frequent instructions.
For a 'hockey school' St. Michael's certainly has quite the basketball history - a history that was on full display on
Tuesday, January 1 0, as three new members were inducted into the St. Michael's Basketball Hall of Fame. A ceremony
was held that afternoon before the Blue Raiders' opening game in the annual St. Michael's Invitational Basketball Tour-
nament to honour the three new inductees: Paul Dignan '59, George Rautins '71 , and Rob Stewart '72.
According to legendary St. Mike's basketball coach, and fellow Hall of Fame member, Dan Prendergast, all three
were well-deserving of the honour. "George and Rob were great kids to coach. They really loved the game, always
worked hard, and were never a minute's problem," said Coach P. "One of the reasons they were such strong play-
ers was due to the opportunity to play for, and learn the fundamentals of the game from, Paul Dignan."
Paul Dignan's story at St. Michael's began when he enrolled in Grade 9 in 1954. He played five years of high school
ball, leading the Blue Raiders through a very successful period and finishing as team captain in his graduating year.
After continuing his stellar career as a member of the University of Toronto Blues, Dignan decided to return to his
old high school as a teacher. How fortunate that was for St. Michael's, as Paul embarked on a fabulous coaching
career that began in 1964 and lasted 27 years. Coaching mainly at the Bantam and Freshman levels, he led numer-
ous teams to TDCAA championships.
Dignan-led teams were known for being fired up with enthusiasm and imbued with the will to win
man himself. They played hard - but always with fairness,
integrity and sportsmanship. It is a sign of the value Dignan
held for St. Mike's that he was standing on the Paul Dignan
Court as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. "I think the
Basketball Hall of Fame is a terrific idea and it is nice to be a
part of it," said Dignan. "So many people contributed to
making Blue Raiders basketball a success and it is great to
see it continue to thrive."
One of the biggest contributions to the success of the
programme came from George Rautins, the first of the Rautins
boys to play for St. Michael's. Arriving at the school in 1967,
Rautins ushered in arguably the most successful period in
much like the
At the end of his college career, George was drafted into the NBA
by the Buffalo Braves - now the Portland Trailblazers. However,
deciding he did not want to play pro ball, Rautins went on to star for
the Canadian national team, where he was a key contributor during
the 1974 World Championships. The highlights of George's career
are too many to mention in this space, but he has one that stands
out above all others, "playing for Coach P".
In a similar vein, Rob Stewart, this year's third inductee, counts
"rebounding for George" among the highlights of his time at St. Mike's.
But lost in his modesty are the hallmarks of a fabulous amateur career
- a career that almost never was. Stewart came to St. Michael's with
the idea of playing hockey, until Coach P, confident Rob could be an
outstanding basketball player, convinced him to "forget the hockey
and come play in a nice, warm gym."
Along with George, Rob helped turn the Blue Raiders into one of the top high school teams in Canada.
His outstanding skills attracted the attention of a number of American and Canadian schools, eventually resulting
in a scholarship at Simon Fraser University - which was at that time a member of an American conference. Named
among the 1 50 greatest Canadian basketball players of all time, Rob was recruited by the Canadian National Team
after enjoying a successful university career. With the national team, he joined forces once again with former team-
mate George Rautins at the 1974 World Championships in Puerto Rico. Surely there must be some fantastic
stories from that tournament, as these are the two gentlemen that, as Rob remembers it, "used to hang drop from
the cafeteria into the locked gym to practice in the dark."
On January 10, 2012, it was obvious that their passion for basketball is shared by the St. Mike's community.
The three legends were inducted into the St. Michael's Basketball Hall of Fame to the beat of the St. Mike's
Drumline, in front of a packed house, surrounded by former teammates and coaches, and applauded by the
current Blue Raiders squad. The touching and thoughtful ceremony was well-planned, executed, and timed,
inspiring the Blue Raiders to a huge first quarter lead over Pope John Paul in their opening game of the tournament
- a game they went on to win 90-50, much to the joy of the hall of famers in the audience.

SMCS RETURN TO LEARN PROGRAMME
This year, the Learning Enrichment Centre piloted 'Return to Learn 1 , an innovative programme to support students
who must make a graduated return to school after the cognitive changes that they experience from a concussion.
While 'Return to Play' is a familiar step by step procedure that follows concussion recovery towards a return to
sport, there are no programmes, except St. Michael's, that address the classroom and academic needs for
students post-concussion. The Learning Enrichment Centre coordinates communication about student progress
and needs to teaching faculty, medical professionals, parents and administration. On April 27, St. Michael's hosted
a symposium to highlight its unique comprehensive approach to concussion management and share strategies
with medical, educational and government organizations. The programme has attracted a lot of media attention,
including a feature on CBC's Connect with Mark Kelley and an article in The Globe and Mail.
SPREAD THE NET
This past year the Student Government held several fundraisers to raise money for the 'Spread the Net Student
Challenge', helping to combat childhood malaria in Africa. SMCS students raised $26,329.81, surpassing their goal
of $20,000, through several fundraisers, including a walk-a-thon in September, buzz cut challenge in January and video
game tournament in February. Each $10 raised purchases a bed net which can shelter up to five children for five years.
SENIOR BLUE RAIDERS BASKETBALL TEAM
The Senior Blue Raiders were ranked first in Canada for the first time since 1 979. The team is led by Duane Notice '1
and Malcolm Duvivier '14, arguably the most potent guard tandem in the country. This year, the Blue Raiders
defeated almost every powerhouse team in each region and took home five tournament championships, including
the Ontario Catholic Classic. The team completed one of its most successful playoff runs in recent history captur-
ing a CISAA championship and a bronze medal at OFSAA.
RUMBA SQUAD
This year, St. Michael's College School was proud to introduce the Rumba Squad, a new world rhythms percussion
programme. The Rumba Squad features diverse melodies using drums such as the congas, bongos, timbales,
djembe and bombo and is the first of its kind in a Canadian high school. Students gain knowledge on the syncopa-
tion of complex rhythms and work as a team to develop an orchestrated sound of pure percussion. The squad is
headed by modern languages teacher Mark Pulla ' )9, who is the moderator and one of the clinicians. Mr. Joaquin
Nunez Hidalgo, Latin Band Music Coordinator for Dirty Dancing and Beauty and the Beast (Mirvish Productions), is
the principal clinician. The Rumba Squad has performed at the SMCS Christmas and Spring Concerts.
BLUE GAELS LACROSSE PLAYERS COMMIT TO PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES
Over the 201 1 -12 school year, several St. Michael's Blue Gaels lacrosse players have committed to play at presti-
gious universities. Andrew Mullen '13, widely considered to be one of the best high school defencemen in the
country, accepted an NCAA scholarship to the University of Virginia. Todd Stewart committed to attend Brown
University in Providence, Rhode Island. Todd will suit up as a long-stick midfielder for the Bears in 2012, competing
in the very prestigious Ivy League. Midfielder Justin DeMarchi '12 committed to play NCAA lacrosse at Denison
University in Granville, Ohio, under the tutelage of renowned Denison Head Coach and U.S. National Team Assis-
tant Coach, Mike Caravana. In July, Joe French '12 will represent Canada at the World U-19 Championship in
Turku, Finland before attending Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. in September. In addition,
Georgian Dimopoulos '12 and Domenico Lisi '12 have committed to Queen's University, Jonathan Rudyk '12 to
the University of Toronto, Christian Barker '12 to McGill University, JD Brachman '12 to Hamilton College and
Jack Ranson '12 committed to Olivet College.

CAREER DAY
At St. Michael's College School's 1 0th Annual Grade 1 1 Career Day, students had the opportunity to hear key note speaker
Donato 76, President and C.E.O. of Liberty Entertainment Group, speak about his career path. Nick talked about
his journey from a St. Michael's student to president of his own entertainment group and becoming an engineer along the
way. Nick's message to the Grade 11s was that it's not your career that defines you, but choosing to be a good person.
Afterwards, alumni speakers from a diverse range of industries spoke about their careers to smaller groups of students.
The alumni speakers included Robert Antenore '91 , Joseph Balsamo '92, Tony Barozzino '83, Adrian Capobianco '93,
Jonathan Cardella '93, Gianni Creta '93, Robert Grossi '92, Paolo Korre '02, Joe LoPresti '93, Basil Marcello '91, Adriano
)4 and Rino Spano '93. A big thank you goes to all the speakers and Luciano Volpe 'i who organized the Career Day.

where are they now
1960s
Les Kozak '60 grew up in a poor Ukrainian family in Yorkton,
Saskatchewan. He came to St. Michael's on the recommendation of
the Toronto Maple Leafs scouting staff and played for the Majors
from 1957-60. Les had a brief career with the Toronto Maple Leafs
before sustaining a career-ending head injury in 1962 while playing
for the Rochester Americans in the American Hockey League. Les
went on to receive his B.A. from St. John Fisher and a Ph.D. in
Biochemistry from the University of Notre Dame. He spent almost 30
years at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, conducting
research into obesity. In 1998, Les received an endowed professorship at the Pennington Biomedical Research
Center of Louisiana State University, where he continued to study energy expenditure and the regulation of body
weight. In January 201 1 , Les moved to Olsztyn, Poland, where he joined the Polish Academy of Sciences. He has
begun building a research group which will study the underlying problems in obesity. Les is highly respected
worldwide in the field of molecular genetics and has lectured around the world. He says that research has a highly
competitive side that satisfies his competitive spirit as hockey had done. His time at St. Michael's gave him the
opportunity to play hockey and obtain an excellent education. As much as possible, Les returns home with his
Polish born wife to spend time with his three children and three grandchildren who live in Maine and Colorado.
1970s
Ernie and Garry Patterson were band members under JP Guerierre '47 at SMCS and both enjoyed careers as
professional musicians. Their horns are heard on the iconic 'Hockey Night in Canada' theme music. They now run

John W. Leis '88, on behalf of his wife, Angela Casey (St. Joseph Morrow Park -
Class of '90) is proud to announce the arrival of their third son, Spencer Casey
Leis, who was born on lucky Friday the 13th, January 2012. Spencer was
welcomed home by his two very excited big brothers, Christian (8) and Tobin (4).
Mom and Spencer are both doing great. "It's now officially Hoikety Choik on 3 in

)0, working as an election observer in Ukraine in 2004 and 2006, saw opportunity. Even though
he had visited his parent's homeland several times in the past, the political events that took place in the immediate
aftermath of the 2004 Ukrainian Presidential Election led him to explore the possibility of a career there. Amidst a
feverish climate with cries of government corruption and election fraud, Tatarsky saw that "something fundamental
had changed in the underlying fabric of the country. The opportunity to live, work and participate in the develop-
ment of a democratic society was an opportunity I could not refuse."
Currently, Tatarsky is the Director of Advisory Services for Ernst & Young Ukraine. Working for one of the Big Four
accounting firms in Ukraine - where he has had the opportunity to build an entirely new department from the

ground up - is not like working for them in Canada, according to Tatarsky. The big
difference, he states, is that the business environment in Ukraine is much more fluid
and in many ways more proactive than what he experienced in Canada.
"Independent Ukraine and its market economy are only 18 years old. Capitalism is new
to this part of the world. Being young and not necessarily saddled with years of corpo-
rate memory, traditions and history, executives are quick to try something new, make
more radical decisions and are more open to change," he explains.
There is a level of risk in any developing economy, but that appeals to Tatarsky, who
left the comforts of an established life and career track in Toronto. "I'm glad I took the
risk to move here. It's one of the best career decisions I have ever made. It has added
unimaginable context and perspective to both my personal and professional life."

2000s
Kevin Klein '03, one of the last members of the St. Michael's Majors to graduate from
SMCS, has played full time in the NHL for the Nashville Predators since 2008. He
was drafted by the Predators in the 2nd round, 37th overall, in the 2003 NHL Entry
Draft. He scored his first goal for the team in 2007 against Nikolai Khabibulinn and
the Chicago Blackhawks during only his fourth NHL game. Missing only 10 games
combined in the last three seasons, Kevin registered his first multi-point outing
against Edmonton on March 3, 2009. He set highs in games played (81), assists (10)
and penalty minutes (27) in 2009-10. During that season, he was also one of two
Predators (along with Shea Weber) to post at least 100 hits (101) and 100 blocked
shots (147); Impressive stats considering he only played his rookie season in 2008-
09, after appearing in 18 games over the three previous campaigns. By the end of
with the 2010-11 season, Klein was a mainstay in the Predators playoff lineup,
appearing in all six games against Chicago - making his playoff debut in Game 1 and
collecting his first post-season point in Game 3.
Kevin starred for the Toronto St. Michael's Majors from 2000-04, although he was traded to Guelph for the end of
the 03-04 season, where he helped the Storm to the Ontario Hockey League Championship and an appearance in
the Memorial Cup. Klein also captured a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2004 World Junior Championship.
He was named the OHL Western Conference's Best Defensive Defenceman in the 2004 OHL Coaches' poll, was
named a Third-Team All-Star and played for the Western Conference at the 2004 OHL All-Star Classic.
Nicknamed 'Kleiner', Kevin lists his favorite hockey moments as winning a gold medal with Canada's U-18 team
in 2001 at the Six Nations tournament in the Czech Republic and winning the 2004 Ontario Hockey League Cham-
pionship with Guelph. Kevin and high school sweetheart Jodi, who he married in 2008, are the parents of Joseph
Robert, born in 2009. The couple has another child due this summer. While Kevin and Jodi call Nashville home
during the season, they return to Canada every year to spend summers in Collingwood.

in memoriam
passed away on Wednesday, March 27,
2012. His grandson, David Tenute '16, is a student at SMCS.
passed away in Toronto on February 15,
2012. He was in his 84th year and his 48th year in the priest-
hood. Fr. McKillop was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in
Thornhill, following his February 21 funeral Mass.
Growing up in the west end of Toronto, he attended the Univer-
sity of St. Michael's College and then began teaching at
St. John the Evangelist Elementary School in Toronto. After
much discernment, he entered the Paulist Fathers order in New
Jersey and went to study at St. Paul's University in Washington.
But everything didn't go according to plan. He was asked to leave
as the order felt he worked too hard and was too intense. He
regrouped, entered St. Augustine's Seminary and was ordained at
the age of 36.
Assigned to St. Mark's parish, it was at this point Fr. McKillop
discovered his passion for youth ministry. After a year of work-
ing with teens and young adults, he became director of the
Catholic Youth Organization (CYO). "I was on fire with enthusi-
asm, I had finally found my niche," he was quoted as saying in
The Shepherds' Trust newsletter. After 18 years with the CYO,
he went on to become pastor at Holy Name parish in Toronto
and then pastor of St. John Chrystostom parish in Newmarket.
In 2005, Fr. McKillop received the Order of Canada for his work
in promoting responsibility and social engagement among
Canada's youth.
passed away peacefully at the age
of 84 at Stevenson Memorial Hospital, Alliston, on Sunday,
March 25, 2012. An accomplished goaltender, Robert played
one game for the St. Michael's Majors in the 1945-46 season
and one game for the New York Rangers in the 1 947-48 season.
Beloved husband of the late Jane (Mclntrye), loving father of
Tod (Donna), Paul, Joe (Vikki), John (Heather), Peter, David
(Jayne), Phil (Eileen), and Martha (Peter) Atherton and dear
brother of Jo (late Maureen), Cecile (late Maurice) Tourigny,
Paul (Claudia), and the late Bill (Cecile), Bob will be sadly
missed by his 17 grandchildren and his one great-grandchild.

community was deeply saddened by
the passing of Grade 11 student
Robel Solomon '13 on February 17,
2012, following a courageous battle
with cancer. He was the beloved son
of Mr. Solomon Kidane and Mrs.
Rosa Teklu and the caring older
brother of Matthew '14.
Robel attended Our Lady of Lourdes
Catholic School before coming to
SMCS on a scholarship in Grade 9. At
St. Mike's, Robel played soccer and
was the manager for the Sr. Basket-
ball Team. "He was the one who
would sweep the floor and get water
bottles for the players, " said basket-
ball coach, Jeff Zownir '88. He
described Robel as "always willing to
contribute in any way he could to the
health and success of the
programme, with a smile and a posi-
tive attitude. "
Numerous SMCS students, including
both the Jr. and Sr. Basketball Teams,
attended the funeral held February 21

Francis Burns '57 passed away on November 26, 201 1 . After graduating from St. Mike's, Frank went on to teach
at De La Salle College Oaklands before transferring to Saint Basil the Great College School. At the time of his pass-
ing, Frank was an occasional teacher with the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Ted Schmidt '57 remembers
"the unforgettable Frank Burns" as indelible to their graduating class:
"It was the Conformity Decade but not for our recently deceased classmate Francis Patrick Burns. We all stood for
God Save the Queen, our national anthem. But not Frank. He resolutely sat down and would for the rest of his life
when 'the Queen' was played. Frankie, to say the least, was 'different'. His antics in Fr. Dave Bauer's, C.S.B. '45
class (and others) were legendary. He would just pop up in mid-sentence and launch into a Hank Williams' song,
cheered on of course by all of us. Frankie worked on Bay Street before entering teaching in his late 30s. He had a
fierce loyalty to the Catholic Church and indeed to his SMC friends. True to form, two years ago he informed us that
after our 50th reunion he would no longer attend our annual get-togethers. He wanted to remember us as he did
'the Faith of our Fathers ' like 'we were '. And so he disappeared. Six of us held a lunch in his honour in early Decem-
ber 2011. Gone but certainly not forgotten. "
loyal students, as many in as out of the classroom. How many of us first learned to tie a fly at his bench, cast a long
line, sneak on a fishing hole, or just quietly sit, watch and listen, to learn from what was around us? Don's voyage
was one of change and seeming contradictions: wingshooter to birdwatcher; hunter to photographer; bruising
athlete to sensitive artist; party animal to moderate family man. However, the same passion that drove the wild
man on skates and fuelled many a school prank, remained always present, inspiring a love for learning, under-
standing and achievement that he never lost. I was lucky to be a part of his life. "
passed away on September 21, 2008, at the Bristol Hospital, aged 64. George was
beloved husband of Frances (Orsini), father of Kimberly, stepfather of Philip Batick and brother of Marta Zanelli.
He was born April 8, 1944 in Chirnside, Scotland, son of the late Joseph A. and Emilia (Zielinski) Baraniecki.
He immigrated to Canada and was raised in Weston, Ontario. After graduating from St. Michael's College School,
George attended Southern Connecticut State College, where he received his B.Sc. in education. He later

sons. His funeral mass was celebrated at Our Lady of Sorrows Church by Rev. Nino Cavoto, on March 23, 2007.

by all those lucky enough to be his friends over the years.
passed away peacefully at his home in
Brighton on Tuesday, January 17, 2012, aged 67 years. Loving husband of
Kathryn (Bird), beloved father of Stephen, Meghan (Matt), Ian and Molly-Kate
and dear grandfather of Sawyer, Don is survived by brothers Sean and Chris
and predeceased by brother, Kevin. A loving father and husband and
respected teacher and naturalist, Don will be sadly missed by family, friends
and colleagues - including former SMCS teacher Wolf Reidl, who offers this
remembrance:
"I had spoken to Don shortly before Christmas, heard his cancer had returned,
and knew along with him that his days were numbered. As always he was
brave, but strength had left his voice, and the friend I had shared so much life
with was quickly sliding away. Where had the time gone since we'd roomed
together in the Sixties, teaching in the science dungeons of St. Mike's, and
playing at adventure wherever we could find it? Don was a mentor in those
early years, not just to me, but to a host of young people and friends. He had a
gift for teaching and a special brand of humour that made for many eager and

for 35 years, serving as Team Leader, Student Council Advisor and Chairman of the Math Department. George
also was a mentor at both Terryville High School and Harry S. Fisher Middle School. During his own school years,
George played hockey for St. Michael's College School and football at Southern Connecticut State College.
George was recognized among America's most respected teachers and was placed in the Who's Who Among
American Teachers. In 1996, he was selected as Plymouth's Teacher of the Year and was a candidate for the
Connecticut Teacher of the Year. George was also a recipient of the Secretary of State's Public Service Award.
He had a passion for fishing, hockey and the New York Rangers, and a contagious humour that always made
people laugh.
passed away at Humber River Regional Hospital, Church Site, after a brief illness on Monday,
October 10, 2011. Beloved husband of Nicole and fun loving and adoring dad of Liana (Pupa), he will be lovingly
remembered by his grieving mother Marija, sister Vida (Arunas Dailyde) and her children, Laura and Paul.
passed away in his 49th year on Friday, April 6, 2012, as a result of a massive heart attack.
Mike, gently and with great dignity, took his last breath while his beloved Carolyn held his hand. Son of the late
Frank Loconte, left to mourn his passing are his devoted wife Carolyn Teal and adored sons Andrew and Cody,
for whom he held in the highest regard. Mike also leaves behind his loving mother Rosa, sister Sara and brother-
in-law Tony Paglialunga, niece Melissa and nephew Jonathan and his family at Cercan Tile, where he worked for
more than 23 years. He also leaves his furry forever friends Ella and Theo, along with a small army of family and
friends who knew him for his exceptional kindness, his loyalty and his big-hearted generosity of spirit.
Mike was everyone's rock, the go-to person you called when you needed a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on.
He had the best laugh and his love of hockey was legendary. A member of the Board of Directors of the North York
Hockey League (NYHL), he was also a coach with Weston Minor Hockey. No morning was too cold or too early for
Mike when he headed out to the arena. To have known Mike was a privilege, to have loved Mike was a gift.
passed away on January 1 , 2012. He is fondly remembered as a jovial and happy
man who imparted a very positive energy to all who met him. Michael was known for his admiration for his family
and thought of his children as his greatest achievements. He always knew the right thing to say and was without
fail, there for anybody who needed his help. A considerate and compassionate individual, Michele will be missed
for his kind nature, great smile, and wonderful sense of humour by his family, friends, and colleagues in the mort-
gage industry.

FRIENDS OF ST. MICHAEL'S
Rev. Harold Bernard Gardner, C.S.B. passed away peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, April 4, 2012, at
St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto. Fr. Gardner served as Superior of the Basilian Community at SMC from 1981-87
and was a director of the St. Michael's College Board of Governors from March 1998 to November 2001.
Fr. Gardner was born in Fairport, New York on September 25, 1929, the ninth of eleven children of William Joseph
Gardner and Mildred Amelia Hembrook. He is predeceased by his parents, brothers Earl and Gerald and sisters
Lucille, Mary, Dorothy, Mabel, Hazel and Barbara. Fr. Gardner is survived by his brother (Robert), sister (Margaret
Budgeon), cousin (Cheryl Lewis), and numerous nieces and nephews.
Many sought Fr. Gardner's counsel and direction because he was gifted with an open, friendly disposition. His
friends, colleagues and confreres admired his wisdom and sense of work ethic. In 1997, he was asked to become
Superior of Anglin House, an assisted living home for the Basilian Fathers in Toronto. He said of this appointment:
"What a change of pace, but how extremely rewarding to witness the lives lived by Basilians at the end of their
active careers!" He served in this role for two years and was much admired for his kindness and attentiveness to
the needs of his confreres. He retired in the year 2000 and continued to live in Orsini House, Toronto, always ready
to serve his confreres with consideration and thoughtfulness.
Frank Greco passed away on March 16, 201 1 . Husband of Pina, proud father of F , Carla, and Laura and
loving Nonno to his many grandchildren, Frank was a strong supporter of St. Michael's. He lived his life with
dignity, humility and devotion to the teachings of Christ.
Garry Zentil passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, February 15, 2012, in his home, at the age of 55. Garry
was the beloved husband of Michele Zentil and loving father to Joseph )6, Armand ' , and Calla. Garry was an
organizer of 'Jim and Garry's Invitational Golf Tournament' and sat on many committees, including the SMCS
150th Anniversary Committee. He was a valued supporter of St. Michael's with donations including the
'Jim DeGasperis, Garry Zentil and Eagles Nest Terrace' in front of the Centre for the Arts.
Garry was the son of Joe and Wanda Zentil, and son-in-law to Margret Johnson of San Diego, California. He was
a brother to Dianna and Paul (Jutta Zentil) and will be sadly missed by his nieces and nephew: Olivia, Erica,
Maxine, Estelle, and Jens. Garry's enthusiasm for life will never be forgotten by his family and the many friends
whose lives he touched.
Garry, who was involved with Zentil Property Management, Eagles Nest Golf Course, and Mayfair Clubs, was
devoted to his work and took pride in his accomplishments. Garry was larger than life and had an adventurous
spirit. He loved telling jokes; there was never a dull moment with him. His positivity and optimism showed in every-
thing he did. He believed in giving back and was a generous donor to various charities in Toronto. Garry was a
wonderful role model for his children and forever he will remain in their hearts.

I attended a meeting in the school, April of 1997, which was called to explain the plans for the return of the Majors.
Beforehand I took a diversion, visiting 'The GRAIL', or south inside wall of the arena, which has always held my atten-
tion. While entering I met one of the Tunney brothers, who was closing up early, and I asked to view the pictures.
He turned on a light that lit up only a few of my former colleagues ... but the one that stood out was Fr. David Bauer's,
C.S.B. '45 'portrait' in his Majors jacket taken in 1961 , the year they won the Memorial Cup for the fourth time.
To me, it is NOT just another black and white picture. (And if it was
done in colour it would do a disservice.) It is vivid ... graphic ...
realistic. While viewing and studying Fr. Bauer's strong and chiseled
features I could hear his gravelly voice and to this day I remember
one meeting with him that still echoes within me loud and clear. He
walked up behind me in the school cafeteria and by using his iron
grip thumb and forefinger he paralyzed my right arm. That was in
April of 1957, the year I graduated.
"Tommy," he said to me while his eyes drilled mine, "I could have
thrown you out of the school last week because you were seen smok-
ing on the property." He paused. My now clammy squeezing collar
grew tight around my neck. He added, "y° u are finally putting together
some good marks this year and you might make it into college. Don't
gamble all that away." He did not wait for a reply... nor did I.
Later that month, Fr. Bauer took over a grade thirteen Religious
Knowledge class because our regular teacher was absent with
influenza. I am sure I will never forget it. "Gentlemen," he said while
looking squarely at me because I had not really accepted his messages in previous encounters
certain gifts by Almighty God and He expects you to use them." The room was silent.

"you were given
"Those of you with a super intelligence are expected to work hard at your studies and those with an average ability
can be successful in academic life by using your time to study hard, which God has intended," he continued. "God
in his love for you has given you life and various abilities which allow you to lead a full and rich life. You are expected
to return God's love by using those gifts... to the fullest."
He paused before continuing. "Those of you who are non-academic and not destined for high paying jobs and positions
of influence, are also expected to honour and love God in return. If you are in a service job, then you are expected to
provide the best service possible whether it be driving a bus, pumping gasoline, or stocking shelves in a supermarket."
He looked at the clock on the wall and asked for questions. There followed inquiries about fights in hockey games
and dirty players who injure others. He answered all, reminding us that accidents can and do happen and that
games must be controlled by officials. He made clear that hockey is a contact sport and is not in itself guilty.
Nonetheless, his words stuck with me and later I repeated his lesson more than once in various meetings of Alcohol-
ics Anonymous. In short, my 'sharing' with others often sounds like this: "Those with an addiction to alcohol serve
our Higher Power best by abstaining and helping others to overcome our mutual disease!"
Thank You, Father Bauer!

turkey roll & reunion - the tradition lives on
On Friday, November 25, 201 1 , hundreds of alumni streamed to St. Mike's to celebrate the annual Turkey Roll - the Alumni
Association's longest serving and most successful event. The evening once again provided a perfect setting for many
friendships with former classmates and teachers to be rekindled. Fr. Redican, C.S.B. conducted mass before the event. The
classes of 1 962 (50 years), 1 987 (25 years), and 2002 (1 years) were honoured at the event, posed for reunion photos and
were presented with class pins.
CLASS OF 1962 - 50TH ANNIVERSARY
John Hermann '62 On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of our graduation, my
good friend Barry Hayward '62 and I decided to attend our first Turkey Roll in many
years. Meeting with fellow grads Bill Patterson '62, Tom Polonic '62, Skip
Stanowski '62, Joe Pastor '62 and others provided a great opportunity to share
fond memories of the school and get updates on former classmates. It was good
to hear that so many have enjoyed successful and rewarding careers. We don't
know of any who are currently in jail. A tour of the school not only brought back
memories but an opportunity to see the many changes that have occurred.
The new theatre is just amazing. The weight training room and the enlarged gym
also impressed. The new lockers in a much better configuration looked great.
The group agreed to meet again on our 75th.

CLASS OF 1987-
- With close to thirty grads from the Class of '87 in attendance, the
evening was a resounding success. It provided ample opportunity to catch up with
old friends and acquaintances, relive old tall tales and fabricate new ones.
Many laughs and sentiments were shared throughout the evening. As the grads
posed for a group picture the spontaneous cheers of Hoikety Choik and Bubba Lou
erupted from a jubilant and energized group. The grads were honoured with a
commemorative pin which featured their anniversary year and the school crest.
While there were many grads amongst the Class of '87 who had not been back to
St. Mike's since they graduated, they could not pass up this momentous opportu-
nity and were certainly glad they came.

CLASS OF 2002 - 1 0TH ANNIVERSARY
It is hard to believe that 1 years have passed so quickly and
amidst the ever so popular Movember crowd, the representatives of the Class of
2002 were just as rowdy and passionate as if they had never left the yellow brick
walls of SMCS. With a showing of nearly 50 strong, the truest of St. Michael's very
own were an enthusiastic bunch chanting Bubba Lous and Hoikety Choiks by the
baker's dozen. Amongst many familiar faces that spawned a series of hi-fives, the
members of the class were proud to be celebrating their own positive achieve-
ments with one another in the building that helped pave the way for their futures.
